Los Angeles: The City of Angels (and Clouds)
So, you’ve packed your shades, your swimsuit, and your dreams of endless sunshine, only to find yourself staring at a sky that looks more like London than LA? Welcome to the club. Let's dive into the murky world of why our beloved City of Angels seems to have traded its halo for a cloud hat.

May Gray, June Gloom: It's a Thing
You've probably heard of it, but let's break it down. It's like Mother Nature has a personal vendetta against our sun-kissed lifestyles. Basically, the Pacific Ocean is a big, cold tub, and LA is right next to it. This cold air meets the warmer inland air, and voila, you get a thick, gray blanket of clouds. It's like a cosmic game of tug-of-war, and the clouds are winning.
QuickTip: Copy useful snippets to a notes app.
The Inversion Layer: Nature's Blanket
Imagine LA is a giant sandwich. The bottom bread is the cold ocean air, the top bread is warm air, and the filling is us. The problem? The top bread (warm air) is acting like a lid, trapping the bottom bread (cold, cloudy air) underneath. It's like living in a perpetual overcast terrarium. Thanks, nature.
QuickTip: Ask yourself what the author is trying to say.
So, When Does the Sun Come Out?
The good news is, this cloud drama usually subsides by July. So, if you’re planning a summer visit, hang tight. The bad news? Global warming might be throwing a wrench in the works. We might be seeing more of these cloudy days in the future. Let’s hope not, because honestly, we’re starting to miss our tan lines.
Tip: Reflect on what you just read.
